I picked up on this train of thought while reading the TMMB.

Any of you guys have any wierd talents/mild superpowers?

 

Mine would be the extraordinary ability to predict wheteher or not people are aproaching. I'm best with police and aproaching freight trains (as odd as it sounds). 

Just glancing at main street for a few seconds will tell me whther or not a train or cop is aproaching. I'm usually right on top of the time. I can guess, usually, within 5 to 10 minutes for a train, and about 2 to 3 for an aproaching patrol.

I don't know how I do it. I think it has something to do with traffic patterns, or something.

Yeah, I've done that a few times in the last week. Timing is one of my things. But, above all else, it's patterns in general. Especially patterns of movement.

I can be following along behind someone on the road and after a few seconds of watching them move (somewhere between 5 to 30 seconds) I can tell you most of their habits. Especially their turn signal habits, speed fluctuations and selected turning radiuses. That kind of thing...

I think I have too much time on my hands.

Invulnerability. Er, dumb luck I guess. By all rights, I should be dead. I've been trapped under a boulder, chased by a large waterspout, stepped on a live extension cord (of which I connected two wires, evidently, sending sparks and a lot of voltage my way. If I wasn't wearing boots, I'd probably be dead), fell down some stairs while holding a loaded firearm, among other things. Feel free to ask about any of those events, and I'll go into further detail.

Maybe there is a God watching my sorry behind...

I can figure things out by simply using common sense, it sounds kinda not talented to you smart people on here, but it seems like everyone around me just doesn't get things I easily understand.

I have this strange ability to hide behind 2" diameter trees and not get hit by someone firing at me..... Oh, and I can pull pans out of a 275*F oven with my bare hands, of course that probably has to do with working in kitchens for so long.

LoL Trippy Topic.

Lets see here

I do for some reason also tend to look at the clock at 9:11. Not twice aday, but enough to notice that I do it.

I'm also good at analizing people and can tell what most of the girls that I know are thinking about.

I can read people really well.
Also, I am excellent with patterns.
An odd thing I can do amazingly well, I can walk into a room around christmas time, looks at the tree, and within 15 seconds I can show you every single missing christmas light on the tree.

Lawlz, I do the same thing every freakin day. I think it's because I saw a nut theory right after 9-11 saying the one of the planes hit at exactly 9:11. Ever since then, I just take notice. Weird that other people do the same thing.

Otherwise, as someone else has already pointed out, the only ability I have that's sometimes kind of odd is the ability to read people. I can pretty much tell you anything about a person by just reading their facial expressions in a five minute conversation.

For time, I always catch 12:34 and 10:01.

I also have insane dodging powers for things I see coming at my head at the last moment. I'll throw my head to the side and usually feel the object lightly graze my neck or hair as it passes.

I don't catch it that often but I lol when I glance at a clock with 4:04.

Also, am I missing why it is so special to look at the clock when it is 9:11?

I'm very good at analyzing people.  I also have an inexplicable sense of time.  Even if I haven't looked at a clock since morning, I can usually tell a time within 15 minutes of being right.
